I think poker is a passionate game that depends on luck and does not depend only on skill.



For me, poker is a passion and a hobby. I would love to be great enough to compete professionally in a poker sports league. I consider the game to be a sport at this point. Yes, there is luck involved and all of that but also Skill is very much a part of the game. Just like any other game/sport, you have to practice your skills and you may be great but luck is still involved there too.

I play poker as a hobby and just enjoy the fun Sometimes nice to irritate a few but evryone does that once in a while

Luck?

There is no doubt that there is a lot of luck in poker, however, there is also a large element of skill involved. The more you play the more you will realize this.

Not too many of us can call it a job. Passion or hobby, close call. I'll go with passion.

I consider it first of all a passion, I think it is necessary to love what you do to do it well and understand what you need to do for the better.

If you were a hobby you would assume losses as normal in situations where you often made technical mistakes. But I've considered poker that way for a long time.

Nowadays I try to be profitable, I think that professionalism comes with time of practice and in-depth studies.

I think I consider both, mixed with a little hatred now and then.

at the moment, for me, it is the best sport and a great passion.
I hope to call it ... the best job soon.

I think it can be all three, but in my case it's just a hobby.

Poker

I think for a lot of people in general it's just a hobby they just enjoy playing. But for others it's more of a passion, they not only play but spend time studying and trying to improve (I think I'm in this category).

I think for poker to be your job it needs to be one of your main sources of income which requires a lot of handwork and dedication to the craft!

An exciting hobby, and at a time like the one we are experiencing it is very practical, we can enjoy it without going out. ;)

I play poker, this is my hobby. I don't have many games, so poker is the perfect game for me.

God's question I say.

All the above. I learn it, I play it, I love it, I hate it, I day dream about it. I look forward to it. I get $ for it. If you love what you do for work, your not working. your doing what brings you some sort of mental release and relaxation. Hobbie/passion/ bills paid gl everyone and as always have fun
